Any Advice?

I have never really been "good" at comforting people. I just don't know what to say when someone's upset or grieving etc. I am scared to say the wrong thing too, that's why I don't really know what to say.

My boyfriend's grand parents died in April a few days before his birthday and it really did upset him. I helped him as much as I possibly could and he has been fine. Which is fantastic. He told me he was talking to one of his friends who lost a loved one and he's helping them, don't get me wrong that is fantastic that he is helping them. I just know that it's bringing up those memories of his grief, but I don't know what to tell him.

My question is, is there anyway I can help him more? I mean I know he is still grieving, and its bringing back painful memories for him and I want to help. I can't stand my friends being in pain. have any ideas of what I could say to him?

Just let him know that you are there for him if he needs someone to listen. Listening is the best thing you can do.

Tell him you love him. That you care for him. In the most simple words. And just try to be a shoulder to lean on and listen to him when he needs to bent. That's everything and anything you cand do and that's more than enough.

Tell him that you love him, that you will always be there for him
